Optical Illusion Art

Optical illusion art, or op art, is a category of art that focuses on tricking the eye. These graphic design images are unique modern prints that trick the mind and eye by the use of extreme perspectives, lines, and other artistic principles. Often, even when knowing that the image is an optical illusion print, the eye still can't pierce the initial perception of the work.

Many of works of op art are surreal images. These images re-arrange elements of real life and display them in a way that is strange or unexpected. These optical illusion prints, like 'Relativity' by M.C. Escher and 'Cinquenta...Tigre Real, c. 1963' by Salvador Dali are considered optical illusion art because of the many interpretations that can be made about these images.

Graphic design images in optical illusion art are popular in this art category. These works focus on mathematical formulas and often employ both lines and colors in order to deceive the eye. Works like 'Vega-Nor' by Victor Vaserely are unique modern prints that are suitable for household and professional venues.

Many unique modern prints are created in optical illusion art. These works are highly prized by modern art audiences for both their unique executions and their aesthetic appeal.
